Russian pilots, armour crewmen and troopers already work in Belarus

They wear Belarusian army uniform.

The topic of opening a Russian airbase in Belarus and deployment of Russian S-300 missile systems is being actively discussed these days.

Belarus's neighbours are concerned about Russia's growing military presence in our country. Janusz Onyszkiewicz, an adviser to the Polish defence minister, said recently that Poland was concerned about deployment of Russian offensive weapons in Belarus and regarded the forthcoming Belarusian-Russian military exercises Zapad-2013 scheduled for autumn as a threat.

As charter97.org has learnt, Russians have been serving in Belarus long ago. These are not only Russian military personnel at the radar stations in Baranavichy and Vileika.

Soldiers and officers of the Russian army from other military branches serve in Belarus: pilots, troopers, armour crewmen and missile crewmen. They do not advertise they belong to the Russian army. Russian soldiers wear Belarusian military uniform and serve in their own military units under command of Russia.

A total number of Russian military personnel unofficially serving in Belarus is up to 3,000 people. They are reported to serve in at least five garrisons.

Charter97.org learnt from a source that it is preparation for deployment of a Russian permanent military grouping in Belarus.
